Bulent Aliriza, director of the CSIS Turkey Project, was quoted by the Christian Science Monitor, "In Turkey, Ruling AKP Party on Trial in High Court, Media."
If the media is supposed to serve as a mirror for the society it covers, then the Turkish press may actually be doing too good a job. [. . .]
"The media has become a battleground," says Bulent Aliriza, director or the Turkey project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a think tank in Washington. "Every newspaper is taking sides, through its columnists and now, increasingly, through its news stories. It's becoming harder to say that there is an independent media with an objective view."
The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) is a private, tax-exempt institution focusing on international public policy issues. Its research is nonpartisan and nonproprietary. CSIS does not take specific policy positions; accordingly, all views, positions, and conclusions expressed in these publications should be understood to be solely those of the authors.
